Staff doesn’t mean just coaching staff. There’s video people, social media assistants, trainers, interns. It’s probably someone not even listed on the teams directory.

Feels like there are 1001 reasons that teams can wreck a season.

Loaded or no, work is where he spends most of his day I imagine

Even rice & beans sounds good when you’ve been eating Filet Mignon everyday for 10+ years.

I’m not justifying what he did, but some of you are gassing up the Nia Long thing — she’s 52, not 30.

She’s still fine, but she’s not fine-fine. She’s 50-fine.

And they were together for 12 years or so. At some point, human nature starts to kick in. (We also don’t even know their relationship status)

On the flip side, the staffer he was involved with is actually married! And it’s to the guy she went to high school with.

His professional career will be just fine but he’s going to get EXTREME heat I know in one community just because who his wife is even though they were separated. Nia Long is regarded as damn near royalty in some circles and gets a ton of respect.

Filet Mignon is extremely tender and expensive, but it has very little flavour.
I can prepare a cheap cut like a chuck roast making it extremely juicier and tastier.

Do what you want with the analogy, now.

“his staff off his staff” should have been the punchline
That said, totally inappropriate to do it with a subordinate, even if the actual chain of command does not run through him - a separate department. Another employee must have ratted them out.

This isn't about moral standards, this is just another case of good intentions going so far, they become absurd and unjust.
The idea is to prevent abusing employees, in disadvantaged position, looking to put food on the table, by scumbag bosses, who exert their authority to get sexual advances.
This is clearly not the case, another high profile scandal, Intel CEO had to resign because he had an affair with an employee, the fact was discovered long time after the affair ended, he still had to resign, and Intel had to wait a long time until they found replacement.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Feels like it’s getting blown out of proportion a bit.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
